Chapter 4: The Gathering Storm *The following contains spoilers through Chapter 4 of The Book of Boba Fett* Chapter 4 spends most of its time plodding through the flashback timeline which sees Boba Fett stumble upon Fennec Shand’s body. What inspires him to save her life is unknown for a while, until later in the flashback when he tells her that the Tuskens have taught … Continue reading The Book of Boba Fett Chapter 4 – Review
Chapter 3: The Streets of Mos Espa *The following contains spoilers from Chapter 3 of The Book of Boba Fett* So, there’s a lot to unpack from Chapter 3. Running at only 38 minutes (including credits), the episode flies by fairly quickly. While not having as much action or as many large setpieces as Chapter 2, that doesn’t mean there weren’t events and sequences which … Continue reading The Book of Boba Fett Chapter 3 – Review
Chapter 2: The Tribes of Tatooine *The following contains spoilers from Chapter 2 of The Book of Boba Fett* At first glance, Chapter 2 of the highly-anticipated Boba Fett series was another slow-moving, episodically formulaic chapter in the Star Wars Universe. And while that isn’t necessarily wrong, it also serves to expand the series much further into the already existing worlds of Star Wars. Chapter 2 … Continue reading The Book of Boba Fett Chapter 2 – Review
I need to put a big disclaimer at the very start here, in that I haven’t seen every movie released in 2021. In fact, I haven’t even seen every movie I have wanted to see from 2021, missing out on movies like House of Gucci and Spider-Man: No Way Home as I write this top ten piece. With that in mind, here is my Top … Continue reading Top Ten Movies From 2021
Chapter 1: Stranger in a Strange Land *The following contains spoilers from Chapter 1 of The Book of Boba Fett* I wasn’t expecting a whole lot in terms of “new story development” in the first episode in terms of things that moved the greater Star Wars Universe forward. Thanks to some lengthy flashback sequences (more on those soon) we didn’t get a whole lot, but … Continue reading The Book of Boba Fett Chapter 1 – Review
NO TIME TO DIE Year: 2021 Bond: Craig (5th and FINAL appearance) Villain: Safin (Rami Malek), Blofeld (Christoph Waltz) Bond Girls: Madeleine (Lea Seydoux) (sort of) Director: Cary Joji Fukunaga (1st 007) Credits Theme: “No Time to Die” – in all honesty, I hadn’t listened to a single Billie Eilish song before the single was released early in 2020. I knew she was a huge … Continue reading 007 Series Review: NO TIME TO DIE
Year: 2015 Bond: Craig (4th appearance) Villain: Oberhauser/Blofeld (Christoph Waltz), Hinx (Dave Bautista), C/Max Denbigh (Andrew Scott) Bond Girls: Lucia (Monica Bellucci), Madeleine (Lea Seydoux) Director: Sam Mendes (2nd and final 007) Credits Theme: “The Writing’s On the Wall” – I’ll be honest, I don’t know why Sam Smith’s theme gets a bad rap from Bond fans. It’s a genuinely good song, and it ties … Continue reading 007 Series Review: SPECTRE
Year: 2012 Bond: Craig (3rd appearance) Villain: Silva (Javier Bardem!) Bond Girls: Severine (Berenice Marlohe), “Bond’s Lover” (Tonia Sotiropoulou), Moneypenny? (Naomie Harris), M? (Judi Dench) (Yes, I know the last two are not technically Bond girls. But still. Director: Sam Mendes (1st 007 movie) Credits Theme: “Skyfall” – Adele rocks the hell out of this song. Not only is it one of the best Bond … Continue reading 007 Series Review: SKYFALL
**This review contains spoilers through Chapter 12 of The Mandalorian** Oh boy, is there a LOT to unpack from this week’s episode. Like…a lot. I want to start with Baby Yoda. I’m very nervous for him. Not because of the nausea (has something puking ever looked so cute?) he experiences at the end of the episode, but rather because of something which is hinted at … Continue reading “The Mandalorian: Chapter 12 – The Siege” Review
